• About the juror

    I spent thirty-five years in the chip industry. I hold fourteen US patents and B.A, M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Rice University.

    As I develop my identity as a serious photographer, is my honor to work with — and to learn from — Charles Cramer.  Our joint exhibition The Landscape: Master and Apprentice runs January 29 through early June, 2011 at the Institute for the Study of Western Civilization in Cupertino, CA. 

    My first one-man show Natural Designs ran in October, 2010 at Viewpoint Gallery in Sacramento.  My image Lake with Flax and Red Gum Trees was one of 40 images out of 40,000 entries at the Smithsonian Institute; it hung in a six- month exhibit in 2010 in the Smithsonian headquarters building and was viewed by 1 million visitors.  My image Twins was National Geographic’s Image of the Day in 2010. My work is in the permanent collections of the Santa Clara Towers high-rise office buildings, Filoli Gardens, Courtside Club, Sand Hill Road, medical clinics, and private homes.  I am represented by the art consultants Carol A. Dabb and Suzy R. Locke. 

    I am a Trustee and Chairman of the Exhibit Committee for the Center for Photographic Arts in Carmel, CA, a historic venue established by Ansel Adams and Brett Weston in 1967.
